It is indeed THE festive evening of the year, followed closely by New Year’s Eve. It is usually done well in advance to think about its outfit and coordinated makeup. If you want to create a beautiful effect, you probably don’t want to turn into a real Christmas tree. So, which makeup to wear for Christmas? The one that looks like us, embellished with some festive notes without a doubt! Our user manual for a successful Christmas makeup, is in the rest of this article.

Prepare Your Skin Before the Holidays

Winter causes its share of skin discomfort. Under sometimes unpleasant weather conditions, it tends to become dry and dull. Moreover, we know that the Christmas season is also the season of all excess: generous repeated meals, late sleepers, but also alcohol consumption more important than usual. Our skin and complexion suffer from these disorders and impurities begin to appear (dilated or obstructed pores, pimples and redness, blafard complexion, etc.).

To deal with these little hassles, you need to prepare your epidermis before the holidays. For this, it is essential to rely on the hydration of dry skin and the cleansing of oily skin. We advise you to adapt your beauty routine to suit a few weeks before Christmas. Nutritional masks, anti-blemish replenishment care, but also intensive hydration of the body by drinking plenty of water, will be your best allies to ensure a healthy, bright and comfortable skin every day.

Enhance your complexion in winter

Holiday makeup is usually quite heavy, but that doesn’t mean your skin has to suffocate under tons of make-up. Before you get into sophisticated makeup, it’s important to highlight your complexion. For this, choose a covering foundation if your skin is prone to imperfections or a BB cream if your skin is young and little impacted.

Don’t forget to camouflage the critical areas under a layer of concealer or concealer, to blend with your finger for a natural effect. A touch of blush on a preferably nude complexion will look good in winter while a few drops of highlighter will brighten up your face and give it a festive look for Christmas.

Christmas Mouth Makeup

The lipstick is the divine touch of Christmas Eve makeup. It will also give the final rendering to your outfit. You can opt for a glossy or matte lipstick, very popular at the moment. Anyway, we recommend that you choose a sustained and vibrant shade to give your face some pep. Vermilion reds, fuchsia roses or orange will be absolutely necessary at Christmas. However, be sure to choose guaranteed lip makeup without any transfer, such as lip ink for example, because you will spend the evening eating and drinking.

Christmas Eye Makeup

If you don’t want to draw attention to your mouth on Christmas Eve, you can bet everything on the eyes. A worked and captivating look is indeed indispensable during a festive evening. What’s more intense than a smoky eye? It’s up to you to choose the shade according to your clothes: in the tones of black, brown, silver grey or icy blue, very trendy this season. Choose eye shadows with explosive or glittery pigments to stick with the Christmas spirit.

You can even dare the most original colors, as long as they match your festive outfit. The golden liner will also be ideal to highlight your eyelids in a warm and harmonious way. Finally, kohl pencil or eye-liner can be used for beautiful Christmas makeup, but go off the beaten track by opting for less classic shades than black, brown or grey.

Can you make up your mouth and eyes exceptionally for the holidays?

We tell you almost every time we write, for successful makeup, you have to choose between enhancing your lips or eyes. This rule helps to avoid falling into too much, but at Christmas, you can afford more. However, you have to play with subtlety by working on your makeup scrupulously.

This allows you to make up your eyes and mouth, but you still need to promote the area you want to highlight and have a lighter hand on the second. For example, if you have painted your mouth bright red with a glossy lip spray, a simple line of black liner, enhanced with thick-layer mascara, will suffice. On the other hand, if you have used an intense smoky look, opt for nude or matte lips.

Don’t forget to beautify your nails!

For a particularly successful party beautification, don’t forget to paint your nails! However, make sure you have beautiful, clean, hydrated and well-maintained hands first. A regular manicure, at home or in an institute, sets the tone and the final touch to a New Year’s Eve outfit. On beautiful nails, you can afford anything at Christmas: glittery nail polish, golden, silver, very colorful or on the contrary pastel. You can also opt for a nail art related to the red and gold Christmas fairy tale or with small motifs (tree, Santa Claus, reindeer, etc.).

Now that you know which makeup to wear for Christmas, you just have to choose your outfit and develop your holiday menu to enjoy the festivities ahead!
